Hey guess what I haven't learned, despite seventeen years in this country's fine educational system!

The difference between "AM" and "PM".

My flight to Atlanta? 8:45 this morning not 8:45 this evening.

I am currently waiting on standby for an 1845 flight (fuck yes 24-hour time), and everyone seemed hopeful I would get it. Fingers crossed and all. But yes.

Sometimes I am certifiably stupid. This may well be one of those times.

Also, once I go to Atlanta, I will be pretty much entirely without internet. Not even con-rules, where I generally at least check my e-mail --I'll be camping and on blackout. Text if you really need me, I'll be checking my phone once or twice a day. I'll be back next Tuesday. Love!

Have a good trip! (Every now and then, I have trouble with 24-hour time, because I subtract 10 rather than 12 when I convert, but I bet I would be fine if I used it more regularly and/or thought in 24-hour time.)

Yeah, me neither. Yet another example of the U.S. being way behind most of the rest of the world.

(It especially gets me every time my alarm clock gets reset, because for some reason it defaults to 12 p.m., not 12 a.m. Why is the default time in the middle of the day? I have no idea.)

my college part-time job involved delivery tickets that were all in 24 hour time because the system was kludged together and doing am/pm was too complex. picked it up quickly out of necessity.
